#长文创作激励计划#今年3月, Peru abruptly tore up agreements with Chinese companies and wanted to cancel COSCO Shipping's exclusive rights to operate the Chancay port project.
You know, the project is still a few months away, and the amount involved is as much as $1.3 billion.
Why did Peru tear up the agreement?
What is even more puzzling is that the President of Peru recently came to our country to invest and discuss cooperation.
Where does Peru's confidence come from? How is our country coping?
The $1.3 billion project almost aborted
Peru wants to cancel COSCO's right to operate the port of Chancay, and the news came out as early as early March.
This project is a key project of our country's "Belt and Road" in South America, with a total investment of nearly 1.3 billion US dollars.
This project is also very important for the development of Peru, not only to create a lot of jobs, but also to greatly promote the Peruvian economy.
The reason for the construction of such an important port in Peru is that Peru has huge mineral resources, especially copper and silver reserves, which are among the highest in the world.
In order to give more profits to Peru, our country was responsible for the construction of the port of Chancay and gave 40 percent of the shares to Peru. This is a win-win situation, which is of great benefit to the strategic cooperation between both parties in the future.

More importantly, the construction of the port will help Peru increase its influence in international trade, and their rich mineral resources can be better sold to other countries.
In addition to mineral resources, Peru's native palm oil, fruits, coffee, etc. can also be sold through the port of Chanque.
Exports are one thing, and import trade will also be smoother because of the construction of Chankai Port.
Peru is the third largest country in South America by land area, followed by Brazil and Argentina. Although Peru is rich in mineral resources, there is a shortage of electronics and oil.
After the completion of the port of Chankai, it will be able to make up for the shortage of electronic products and oil through a large number of imports.
Moreover, for a long time, our country has a deep foundation of cooperation with Peru, which is why we are more willing to strengthen cooperation with Peru along the Belt and Road and invest 1.3 billion yuan to help them build the port of Chancay.
With such a win-win situation, why would Peru regret it? There is a complex international context behind this.
What exactly is Peru affected?
There are always some people around me who don't look down on others, and the international community is even more so, seeing that China and Peru are cooperating and getting closer, some countries have begun to make trouble and obstruct the smooth progress of cooperation.
At the same time, there are internal problems in Peru, which are the most fundamental factors.
At the earliest, when China and Peru negotiated related projects, the United States was the first to express so-called "concerns" and even slandered China for deliberately controlling Peruvian infrastructure.
This is a method that the United States and other Western countries have always used, and when they see others developing, they always slander, slander, and even propagate threat theories in various ways.
(Chinese company staff)
The Financial Times of the United States once slandered the mainland, saying that the ultimate purpose of building a port in Peru is to facilitate the navy and lay the foundation for future conversion to military use.
Although such operations are a method often used by the United States, they cannot prevent the United States from threatening other countries.
At the outset, the Peruvian government was able to make a fair statement about the project. It is said that the construction of the port is only to promote the progress of trade, and at the same time, the construction of the port can bring employment to Peru, which will greatly promote economic development and improve people's livelihood.
Moreover, all the investment amounts are for commercial purposes, and there are no military considerations at all.
However, there are always some forces in Peru that are pro-American, especially a female president named Boluarte who began to cause trouble in port construction and even sued China.
During that time, not only the cooperation was affected, but the relations between the two countries were also affected.
Things took a turn for the better in March of this year.
(Female President of Peru)
The Peruvian president had a gold Rolex watch in his hand, which was alleged to be illegal property. Prosecutors and police then began an investigation and searched the president's residence.
This is not over, under the strong pressure of public opinion, Peru's six ministers resigned collectively, and there are more and more voices in the political arena against female President Boluarte, and even demand that she step down as soon as possible.
Still, Peru's prosecution of the port construction has had a serious negative impact, so how has our country responded?
The tough attitude scared Peru
Peru's insistence on suing China is likely to make previous agreements go down the drain and have an impact on the subsequent construction of the port.
COSCO Shipping, which was in charge of the investment and construction, had to respond strongly, saying that Peru's prosecution "affected the security of the investment and the stability of the law".
(President of Peru)
In other words, Peru is joking with cooperation agreements and legal credibility.
COSCO Shipping directly pointed out that if Peru insists on making trouble, it will definitely protect the rights and interests of Chinese companies through various means in the future.
China's assertive response quickly made Peru realize that if they insist on undermining cooperation, it will have a negative impact on Peru internationally and affect its own development.
And the United States will not bring Peru any benefit except to interfere with it.
Aware of this, the Peruvian president urgently dropped the indictment, allowing the Chinese company to regain the right to operate the port of Chancay.
At the same time, the President of Peru paid a visit to China on June 25 this year. During the visit, the Peruvian president visited BYD and Huawei, and signed many contract orders.
The President of Peru is full of praise for the development of China's high-speed railway, automobile manufacturing and other fields, and hopes that these advanced manufacturing industries can enter the Peruvian market more and bring more cooperation.
Obviously, the Peruvian president's personal visit to China has allowed her to see China's development and progress, as well as China's sincerity in cooperation, after all, no one will refuse tangible benefits.
epilogue
At present, our country's influence in all aspects is increasing day by day, and both its strength and sincerity of cooperation have been recognized by more and more countries.
Although there have been some obstacles in the construction of the Qiankai port, once these countries realize the hypocrisy of the United States, see China's sincerity, and realize this, they will not refuse to cooperate with China.
Our country has always pursued the diplomatic norms of independence and mutual benefit, especially the Belt and Road Initiative, which is a great initiative that benefits the whole world, and in the future, the road of national cooperation will become broader and broader.
